I downloaded and overrode the 1.06 app but when I play 1.07 I can't save games :-(

Hello there, thank you for the report. Sorry about that. Mmmm. I've just tested the Windows version again, saved in the various ways, both a low-level party and a high-level party, newly created character or old game, new save or overwrite, had no issue. Please, what happens when you try to save? The game crashes? Were you able to save games with version 1.06? I will do more tests with the Mac version.

Thank you for the answer!

The game runs great except for it wont make save files, I can't edit the module and even the options reset if I restart the game. I have tried 1.07 on an other laptop and there it works fine. So I think it's an issue with the compatibility with the computer and not the version.

Thank you :-)

Could it be something to do with the 'run as administrator' option maybe (as least for the Windows version)? Is it Windows 10?

Yes, running it as administrator fixed the issue. Thank you for the help!

Cool, thank you! 8-)

For the Mac version, it may be something to do with the permissions of the folder Library/Application Support/KotC 2 (and subfolders within this). Right-clicking on the folder and setting all permissions to read and write for all users might fix the issue. Cheers!

Just tried that but no go :-(

My Path is /Users/karianna/Library/Application Support/Kotc 2/

Does KotC app support need to go into /Library/Application Support/Kotc 2/ instead?

Thank you. Mmm, I think the path should be fine. But have you tried running the application as admin?

Please see: https://www.wikihow.com/Open-Applications-With-Root-Privileges-on-a-Mac, let me know how it goes please?
